This is semi fictious scenario that is supplied with the Torpedoes and Tides rules:
Intercepting MTBs was not easy, especially before reliable radar became available. The British developed a special type of fast attack craft, the Motor Gunboat, to hunt down German S-boats. They would lie in wait near a German base and pounce on boats returning from a sortie.
The returning S-boats are coming in from the right.
Mark B has four MGB hoping to intercept them.
So far the Germans have not been spotted.
But that all changed quickly.
The black smoke indicates damage
most of which they commence with.
One German boat is speeding off, but the second boat looks like it might be trapped.
The last German boat is having some difficulties maintaining a course
The second German boat is having a hard time
and that last German boat seems to have lost its course.
Well, the first German boat might have escaped, but the second one has been sunk.
What will be the fate of the last German boat?
It is struggling to make progress and is close to the shore
A triple roll of ones on the red dice!
Understandably the crew lost its nerve and ran the boat aground.
Time For A Rematch
No blinds this time, action was immediate.
I have control of the MGBs,
The S-boats are keen to get home.
The MGBs attack but lack firepower
In the confusion collisions occur.
It is a moonless night.
One S-boat has been sunk, but the other two look like they are getting away.
Only one MGB seems able to give chase and it is battered.
The MGB crew lose their nerve and decide to break off.
The Germans escape.
Truely a delightful game!
